International Lefthanders Day 2020

Left Hand X-Ray    
I once worked for a radiologist who was left handed. His handwriting was pretty wild but he obviously was a great intellect and we spent moments from time to time going over a few x-rays and he would always have a joke or something else amusing to say.

One day I asked him if it was true that left handed people were naturally more intelligent than right handed people having read a few abstracts on the subject and to that effect in various journals of the day.

Naturally, I anticipated his affirmative response and it arrived immediately thereafter to our mutual amusement and chuckles.

Yes, I have missed good old Dr Davis over the years and the last I heard he was in Florence or somewhere in the PeeDee doing his radiologist thing while I faded out of the field early on in my never ending pursuit of gainful employment after the Navy.

Today is International Left Handers Day. It is an international observance each 3th of August marking the uniqueness and differences of the left handers. The first left handers day was in 1976 instigated by one Dean R Campbell who founded Lefthanders International, Inc.

So the day touts advantages and disadvantages of being a southpaw ... and I never met a lefty I didn't like.

We can't all be right handed.
